elastic thread

Posted by peggy.sikora@gmail.com on June 9, 2009, 3:01 pm

I need to find elastic thread that I can use in a serger. (coverhem
stitch with the elastic in the looper) The thread you buy at retail
stores is not strong enough and usually too thick.

Any suggestions????

Have you actually seen this done by someone? I don't think
that's going to work at all. By the time the serger looper
tension disks deal with thread elastic it would be stretched
way out.
A better plan would be to serge -over- clear elastic.

Yes, please do not post two identical messages.
